Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Neonatal seizures: Advances in diagnosis and management
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created the ILAE Neonatal Task Force that classified neonatal seizures, defined neonatal epilepsy syndromes, and specified treatment guidelines. These frameworks, in addition to improved access to genetic testing and other recent advances, have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of ...

Febrile status epilepticus and epileptogenesis: The FEBSTAT study
Abstract The multicenter FEBSTAT study (Consequences of Prolonged Febrile Seizures in Childhood: https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R37‐NS043209‐12; PI S. Shinnar) examined the outcome of febrile status epilepticus (FSE) in over 200 prospectively enrolled infants, with many followed for 10 years after FSE.

Epileptic drop attacks: More than just atonic seizures
Abstract “Drop attacks” are not officially defined by the International League Against Epilepsy. Seizures are characterized by a sudden loss of control over the trunk and posture, leading to falls and injuries, and resolving within a few seconds. Accurately diagnosing the type of seizure is usually difficult due to limitations in clinical documentation
